Very true.  While browsing some Sun marketing stuff at the LONI
conference, i saw that several SunFire servers are certified by Microsoft
to run Win2k/2k3.  Goto http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/search.mspx ,
search for Sun under System/Server Multiprocessor.  Sun does claim that
they neither sell nor support MS operating systems, but i guess it's just
a matter of time.  So sad...

I did pick up a cool Sun hat at the conference, which i must say, isn't as 
cool anymore.
